Dear friends and family living in Adelaide and Melbourne, I'm sorry about your weather, but we really didn't want it over here anymore.

PS you've got something to "look forward to" early next week. Sorry.

@Melissabeartrix My knee replacement (five nights in hospital, visiting physiotherapist, mobility aids that included crutches, shower stool and over the toilet seat) cost me roughly $100 for an iron infusion and a couple of 60c per hour parking fees.
Just dropped a meat tenderiser on my foot. My foot does not need tenderising.
@SmudgeTheInsultCat And whose face stares back at me from the mirror in the hairdresser's.

Keep forgetting to mention - I'm now an OAP. Last week I got a message from Centrelink asking me to upload all of my pay slips since March. What now?! I thought. How much more do I need to give them? I'll only need to take them all in when I have the Dreaded Interview. Got notification on the weekend that my claim has been approved and they will be paying me a vast amount of money (back pay and a bonus, apparently) over the coming week. Which they've done.

I rang to speak to someone on Monday (was only on hold for an hour) and queried how I report my monthly super pension to them. I was told I don't have to, they've already taken it into consideration when working our my fortnightly pension payment, but given how much they forecast my pension will be, I'm not so sure. I do have to report my pay from the Guild.

So, I've put the payments into a separate account, just in case they come back to me sometime in the future and say, hey, you know how we told you we took your super into consideration...

@Steveg58 Guess who forgot they had a clothes horse full of, well, clothes on the balcony... Guess who now has a dead clothes horse and will have to rewash three loads of washing. And will have to buy a new clothes horse.
@eniko Looks like the top of my fridge.

When I'm Benign Dictator:

1. All parcels, boxes etc will have carry handles.
2. All spectacles will contain Find My Glasses TM tracking chips.
3. All furniture will be made from soft, rounded material so clumsy people don't keep breaking/stubbing their toes when they walk into them.

This has been a political announcement from the She Shouldn't Be Allowed Out Alone Party.

@RikerGoogling It does mean changing the bulb.
Yay, rain!
